Title
Validation of an XML-based process to automatically web-enable clinical practice guidelines: experience with the smoking cessation guideline.
Abstract
Objectives. To validate the ease by which a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) can be web-enabled using an XML-based semi-automated process. Design and Implementation. An XML DTD for Clinical Practice Guidelines and an MS Word authoring template were created in an earlier project. We took an existing guideline, Bedside Smoking Cessation Intervention, placed it into the MS Word template, converted it into XML, and then to HTML for deployment over the Kaiser Permanent intranet. Conclusions. We were able to use the MS Word authoring template and automatically generate both an XML representation of our guideline, and an HTML representation, which we have deployed on our intranet. The Bedside Smoking Cessation Intervention guideline was automatically merged into the online guidelines collection. Placing it on our intranet allowed for rapid and easy access by physicians and other health care providers throughout the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program.
